Agreed. I watch one of my former companies - a 50k person multinational firm - greedily try to enter new markets. They ended up losing hundreds of millions of dollars and got bought out.
My buddy has had two of those since high school. They seem to be pretty reliable as long as people kept up on oil changes. Avoid the turbos as they will all blow up eventually. My buddy bought a 98 turbo and the shaft literally broke in half one...
Got the rotor off. Parking brake shoes look like this, but I’m hesitant take it all apart.
Biggest issue is I can’t get the calliper piston to go back in to set it in place. Tried using my massIve C clamp that I use and it didn’t budge.
Aside...
Well here I come back to this thought again.
Down to the cruiser and our family car, and I need something that gets better mpg to put miles on.
Limited budget so pickings are slim, and the late 90s-Mid 00s Volvo wagons have caught my eye. A...
My wife spent the night fending off the horde of children we have so I could get as much done as possible.
It's a work in progress, basically driving my project car at this point. Hoping to get something in the next few months that is a little...
Just read from the beginning as my nighttime read lol. Nice job keeping it alive. I've done many a late night working on the cruiser to make sure I'm not taking away time to spend with my wife. She'll hang in the driveway too sometimes in the day...
Hard to tell but the rotor is almost completely smoothed out and not even a cm of metal left thickness wise.
The outside pad just fell off at some point.
This is on order now:
Got the brake pads done on our pilot, then it was off to the cruiser. I started with the back because they’d been so loud . Was surprised to find drivers side pads on pretty good shape. I replaced them anyways:
Brakes are all grinding and making a ton of noise.
Bought new front and rear pads to install, sounds like front pads are pretty straign forward, rear rotors are looking chewed up but I am hoping pads can stave off that job. Planning on doing it...
Well, sold the truck on Monday. Life hits hard and I needed as much cash I as I could get to deal with some bills.
Sold it to a guy who is optimistic about getting a title, I made sure to write that provision into the BOS and explained all the...
You’re making me regret not getting a grey truck.
I joined the high mileage 200 club after only having old trucks (60 and 62). 270k 2011, lots of history and very clean TN truck.
Its game changing.
Lot of you know me on the forums over decades. Big cruiser head family
Locally a cheap 200 came up. @kreiten helped me seal the deal.
1owner
no paintwork
clean title
org CA car
new tires
all service records
mint inside and outside
240k miles...
If it was mine I'd find a good used engine from a salvage yard. 2UZ-FE's are fairly easy to find from a wrecked vehicle, you'd need a non-VVTI 2UZ-FE (aluminum intake manifold) from another 4Runner, Tundra, Sequoia, GX470, or Land Cruiser. I...
I've done my share of PPI's in our shop and I've seen it all. I'm still amazed at what lengths sellers, excuse me scammers; will go to.
Craigslist used to have an option to report listings.
I recently looked at a 100 series LC. Guess the...
Thanks., I think it will be my daily and probably just do wheels and tires.. so, preservation. I've been looking for a 100 series to keep miles off my '21 and nothing is promised, but this should suffice for many years to come.
I highly doubt...
